Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls
  • 2 cups broccoli florets Packed with nutrients and adds a beautiful color to your bowl.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For grilling the chicken and adding flavor.
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa A hearty base to hold all the delicious toppings.
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and a healthy twist to the sauce.
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise For richness in the creamy garlic sauce.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, the star ingredient for that flavorful sauce.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Brightens up the flavors beautifully.
  • 1 tsp dried parsley For a touch of color and flavor.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Pot
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures a nice sear on the chicken.
  2. Step 2: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  3. Step 3: While the chicken is resting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet still bright green. Drain and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dried parsley. Mix well to create your creamy garlic sauce.
  5. Step 5: Slice the grilled chicken into strips, making it easier to serve.
  6. Step 6: To assemble your bowls, start by dividing the cooked rice or quinoa into serving bowls. Top each with grilled chicken, broccoli, and a generous drizzle of the creamy garlic sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you prefer, you can keep the creamy garlic sauce separate to maintain its freshness. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy cold as a salad!
